Gentleness


The gentleness of the Spirit
in the softness of the rose petal
The fuzziness of a baby's hair
The whisper of I love you 
Watching a lover sleep
Kitten play
With rustling of leaves.

Shhhh
The gentleness of the Spirit
Is found in the quieting of the mind
The opening of the heart
The looking with the eyes

Step forward
The gentleness of the Spirit 
Is found with the reaching of the hands
The touch of the fingers
A tear down the cheek
The listening closely

Open 
The gentleness of the Spirit 
Comes with the savory taste of flavor
The connection between you and the world.

Connection
The gentleness of the Spirit
Comes with friendship
Comes with love
Comes with God.
